Patent number: 7709479
Abstract: The use of a compound of formula (I) or a salt, ester, amide or prodrug thereof; where X is O, or S, S(O) or S(O)2, NH or NR12 where R12 is hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl; R5 is selected from a group NHC(O)OR9, NHC(O)R9, NHS(O)2R9, C(O)R9, C(O)OR9, S(O)R9, S(O)OR9, S(O)2OR9, C(O)NR10 R11, S(O)NR10R11 S(O)ONR10R11, where R9, R10 or R11 are various specified organic groups; R6 is hydrogen, optionally substituted hydrocarbyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl; R7 and R8 are various specified organic groups, and R1, R2, R3, R4 are independently selected from halogeno, cyano, nitro, C1-3alkylsulphanyl, —N(OH)R13— (wherein R7 is hydrogen, or C1-3alkyl), or R15X1— (wherein X1 represents a direct bond, —O—, —CH2—, —OCO—, carbonyl, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, —NR16CO—, —CONR16—, —SO2NR16—, —NR17SO2— or —NR18— (wherein R16, R17 and R18 each independently represents hydrogen, C1-3alkyl or C1-3alkoxy C2-3alkyl), and R9 is hydrogen, optionally substituted hydrocarbyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl or optionally substituted alkoxy

Abstract: A compound of formula (I) or a salt, ester, amide or prodrug thereof; where X is O, or S, S(O), S(O)2 or NR6 where R6 is hydrogen of C1-6alkyl; R5 is an optionally substituted 6-membered aromatic ring containing at least one nitrogen atom, and R1, R2, R3, R4 are independently selected from halogeno, cyano, nitro, C1-3alkylsulphanyl, —N(OH)R7— (wherein R7 is hydrogen, or C1-3alkyl), or R9X1— (wherein X1 represents a direct bond, —O—, —CH2—, —OC(O), —C(O)—, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, —NR10C(O)—, —C(O)NR11—, —SO2NR12—, —NR13SO2— or NR14— (wherein R10, R11, R12, R13 and R14 each independently represents hydrogen, C1-3alkyl or C1-3alkoxyC2-3alkyl), and R9 is hydrogen, optionally substituted hydrocarbyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl or optionally substituted alkoxy; provided that at least one of R2 or R3 is other than hydrogen. These compounds inhibit aurora 2 kinase and are useful in the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of proliferative disease such as cancer.
